Ah... this Terrain-aided navigation (TAN) is just
another method of positioning, just like GPS or standard
NAVs (like VOR, NDB etc.).
The method is simple; the aircraft samples the

Hi There,
Does anybody know where I can find a sampled heightmap
(of any place on earth, at any resolution) ?
I need to submit a project about terrain-aided navigation,
and I need to run some simulations (and somehow, I feel that
using synthetic-noise maps is much like cheating).
A brief search

Hi,
Something went wrong in flightgear during my last dist-upgrade (sid)...
and I think it has something to do with the transition from gcc 2.95 to 3.2.
(it fails to load some shared libraries).
In any case, my CVS compiled version works fine, but
the one in Debian's database fails to run.
I'll

Thanks Dave. It has more than enough information
(although it is not a typical electrical diagram).
I have a few dirty tasks for the weekend (like evaluating
a signal processing exam), so I won't be working on the
computer.
All the best,

The GeForce3 (or whatever) will join my computer
when Linux goes out with kernel 2.6 and Debian
declare Sid as stable... ;)
All the best,
Thanks again,

The city itself is a huge lightsource which should be used to illuminate
the terrain (and objects) around.
Hope it helps to define a more accurate problem :)
